Small Business Subcontracting Participation

Small, Women-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned small businesses are invited to participate as suppliers in the medical supply chain through a subcontracting opportunity issued by the Department of Defense under the Medical Supply Chain FSH. This opportunity leverages socioeconomic designations to provide eligible firms with access to federal contracting advantages, aiming to increase diversity and inclusion within critical medical procurement networks. The NAICS code 339114 indicates the focus is on surgical and medical instrument manufacturing, and the place of performance is designated as APO with ZIP code 09094-3219, suggesting logistics and distribution support for military medical needs. The solicitation is open for responses from August 2, 2026, through August 10, 2026, and is structured as a subcontracting vehicle rather than a direct contract, meaning participants will supply goods or services to prime contractors fulfilling the government’s medical supply requirements. There is no specified set-aside type or description, but eligibility is contingent upon the firm’s certified status under one of the designated socioeconomic categories. Participation requires registration and response through the DIBBS portal using the provided link, and interested firms must ensure their certifications are current and validated to qualify for consideration under this initiative.
